SELECTED REVIEWS FOR
Harvest for Hope

If you want to be newly awakened to the joy of eating, to the miracle of food, and to the power each of us has by the way we live our lives, do yourself a favor. Get a copy ofHarvest for Hope. I promise you: your life will change in countless ways, all of them for the better...One of those rare truly great books that can change the world.
-- John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution and Diet for a New America

In Harvest for Hope, Jane Goodall convinces us that we should have a new relationship with food, one that is inspiring and delicious, at the same time a preservation of tradition and an act of conservation.
-- Alice Waters, author of Chez Panisse Fruit and Chez Panisse Vegetables

I love this book! Jane Goodall’s generous, playful spirit imbues every fascinating age. Harvest for Hope is full of mind-expanding observations. . . a personal, tender wake-up call telling us that we can reclaim the wisdom of our bodies.
-- Frances Moore Lappe, author of Hope's Edge and Diet for a Small Planet

“That Jane Goodall feels called to bring her life as a zoologist in Africa to bare on the state of food in the world, shows that regardless of what we've done in our lives, what we choose to eat matters. And how. Thankfully, Harvest for Hope points to the actions we can take to correct the imbalances. But it starts where it must, by making us conscious beings, for ultimately, environmental transformation can't exist outside of personal transformation. If you haven’t thought much about the food you eat and the choices you make (and even if you have), this is an important book to read!”
-- Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and Local Flabors: Cooking and Eating from America's Marmers' Markets

 

“A lucid, anecdote-filled introduction to the world of food, revealing how our food production affects us and how our choices affect the environment. . . Consider this book the shopping list for you and your children’s future.”
-- Paul Hawken, author of Ecology of Commerce

 

“Thrice a day you get the chance to change the planet. You can change it in significant ways, if you follow just some of this book’s wise advice.”
-- Bill McKibben, author of Wandering Home: A Long Walk Across America's Most Hopeful Landscape

 
"Persuasive...jargon-free and anecdote-rich approach makes it a useful primer for grassroots activists."
-- Publishers Weekly
